RISE UP ALL SUMMER LONG

This is the Summer of Resistance. As Black organizers in Atlanta mobilize for a Summer of Resistance in the movement to stop Cop City, so we also rise for our collective liberation, demanding that our U.S. government stop arming Israel. We refuse to fund violent systems, from the $90-million policing project Cop City used to surveil communities of color in Atlanta, to the billions in U.S. military funding to Israel used to massacre Palestinian families in Gaza right now.

The U.S. holds the greatest leverage over the Israeli military in the world as its biggest funder. As long as the U.S. keeps supplying bombs and bullets, Israel knows it has a free pass to wipe out Palestinian families with impunity.

We’ve witnessed Israel’s slaughter of the Palestinian people, and politicians’ lies to cover it up. There is no turning back to the status quo. The masses will fight back to end this genocide.

Rise up in the streets all summer long. Demand that our government stop arming Israel and stop every Cop City nationwide. And don’t stop there. Keep fighting for a liberated future in which we force our government to fund care not killing—healthcare not warfare, homes not drones, books not bombs, climate not cops. Keep fighting until we’re all free.
